The reason for the debate is that proper giga coaster is
over 300 feet tall. Orion's lift is only two hundred and
eighty-seven feet tall.
While Orion's drop is actually three hundred feet exactly due to the
hilly terrain that it is built on.
I'm in the camp that it is a giga and if you disagree with me no big
deal as no matter what it is classified as Orion is a fun coaster.
Accelerating down Orion's three hundred foot drop up to ninety-one miles
an hour is a total joy.
Like Orion's little brother Diamondback across the park they kept
the drop nice and simple without any turns to give riders the
opportunity to enjoy the massive plunge.
